The names

Larry Summers and Harvard

$9.1 million in gifts, an office on campus, and emails that ended a career

RECORD / AT A GLANCE

Documented

Documented. Harvard’s own report found Epstein had a campus office and visited more than 40 times after his conviction. The Summers emails are real and he has apologized. Nothing in the record accuses Summers of sexual misconduct involving Epstein’s victims; the damage is to his judgment and his institution’s.
